A few days ago, I started my mapping project for Jāņupe. The main objectives of this project are to add all the missing houses in the area, re-tag the existing ways and some nodes, and retrace the residential and allotment zones.

Current goals:

Add houses:

I will add all missing (unadded) houses in Jāņupe and neighboring settlements to make the map look more beautiful and updated. The current state of the map in that area is really not good, in some places, the map hasn’t been updated for 5+ years.

Re-tagging:

I will re-tag most places and roads in this area, as well, I’m going to be adding highway = turning_circle in places where they haven’t been added, and changing residential road tags to living street tags.

Retracing areas:

I will trace and re-trace most allotment and residential areas in the area, since most are wrongly drawn.

Upcoming challenges:

While I’m looking forward to work ahead, I will face some challenges like outdated data (for example some cadaster buildings are wrongly drawn or are outdated), or not much available resources to use.

I aim to finish this project in the next 2-3 weeks, breaking the project down into manageable parts. :)
